Bodil Joensen or Bodil Jørgensen (1944-1985) was a Danish pornographic actor born in the village Hundige, near Copenhagen. At the age of 11, Bodil was violently raped by a stranger in a railway station. On returning home to tell her mother, she was beaten and to shock her mother, vowed to sleep with boars.
Her career in pornography began at age 17 when she appeared in "light fetish" pornography before establishing herself in the bestiality subgenre. She starred in a number of feature films and shorts, in which she and other actors had sex with various animal species.
She drew special attention as the Boar Girl, a reputation earned from her live performances with swine, as well as her participation in films shot with pigs on her own breeding centre. The movies she appeared in combined a peculiar blend of the "tolerant contemporary Danish society" image and Scandinavian rustic nostalgia. The prototypical film of this type is A Summer Day (1970) by Shinkichi Tajiri, showing her with animals on her farm to the tune of Beethoven's Sixth Symphony. What made her famous worldwide, however, was the unusual nature of the sexual acts she performed. In 1981, following a change in Denmarks laws, she went to prison for 30 days for neglecting her animals.
After 1972, she experienced a sharp deterioration, undergoing very obvious physical and psychological changes, first working as a "live show" and "sexual role play" girl and then ending up in straight street prostitution. She gave her last interview in 1980[1] and many believed her to have committed suicide, however in a 2006 UK documentary, "The Search For Animal Farm",[2] it was stated by a close friend of Bodil's that she died on January 3, 1985 from cirrhosis of the liver. The program included footage of her gravestone.
